Will this party pledge their delegates to another party when they come in 3rd (or can they even do so in the majority of winner-take-all states?) Until that gets fixed…no thank you.

I will give this new party one thing, they're in favor of that. It's at least on the ballot a few places in WA for this coming election. Waiting to see how that goes.
Must look at my voting pamphlet. First, I've heard of it. Which is what I planned to do today, for the primary. Need to get my mail in ballet to the infamous dreaded DROP BOX (need shocked hamster vid) today, as I set it as my todo for the day. Holy crap! 18 Senators running in the primary. What a waste as I am not dumb and will vote for my very senior democrat Patty Murray, as will 95% percent of the dems in this state. What is a "prefers Republican JFK party" says one candidate.

I don't think you're on the list, it's Seattle, and then San Juan and Clark counties.

In our system, Caucuses sort of take the place of political parties in parliamentary systems. They're not quite as codified or as strong as a true parliamentary political party, but they are also a lot more flexible.

I would be hugely in favor of some upstarts in congress forming flexible caucuses (essentially single/multi-issue voting blocs) and using their collective power to force legislation to the floor.

Give me a "Rationalist" Caucus or the "Common-Sense" caucus around big ticket items that individuals independent of their political association agree upon and start cauing problems until their pet issue is resolved. Disband the caucus and start up a new one with a different mix of members to get the next thing passed, and so on.

Yeah you use terms like Zionists but I'm the lunatic.
God Damn It! Are you the one who told him about the space-lasers? Zionists and Hippopotamuses have a lot in common. Just as soon as somebody tells you not to think about them they appear everywhere. I jump on my bed from feet away at night because there are so many of both under my bed. Listening to them argue is mental torment. I've been thinking maybe to burn my bed but where would I sleep. I think I'd lose my mind if it weren't for the help I get from my psychiatrist, Dr. Adolph Schickelgrube.

Mission accomplished. Straight democrat candidates.
